Criccieth is a small, sheltered, seaside resort situated on the Lleyn Peninsula, east of Pwllheli. There are two beaches and between them, on a headland, stand the ruins of Criccieth Castle. The town is also known for its delicious Cadwalader`s icecream which is made here. Not far from Criccieth is Llanystumdwy, the childhood home of David Lloyd Geoge.
